The location for the Novell Filr file repository is /vastorage/filr.
The data files not stored in the Filr database are divided into several functional areas:
Simple file repository: A large consumer of disk space.
All attachment files are stored in the file repository.
Cache store: Consumes less disk space than the file repository.
Information derived from the attachments, such as thumbnails, HTML renderings, scaled images, and word lists for indexing are stored in the cache store.
Lucene index: Takes only a fraction of the space consumed by the file repository.
The Lucene index contains only pointers to the actual data stored in the file repository. The index enables the Lucene search engine to perform very fast searches through large quantities of data.
